Product Reviews

I've been using these for about two weeks now. The foam buds didn't really fit but the silicone work masterfully. They're comfortable and even in the steel foundry the noise reduction is amazing. I thought I'd have to turn my phone up to compensate for the noise and was pleasantly surprised. I can actually have my Device turned down further than standard earphones allowing me to listen as well as communicate with and understand my co-workers. Final plus, nobody realizes im even wearing headphones as these mimic the silicone 3M earplugs flawlessly. I would recommend.

Blocks out noise like ear plugs, and work like decent ear buds. The package came with a ribbed plastic earplug and a foam set. I drill concrete a lot, and these plugs both protect my hearing, and let me keep in my musical zone. They look professional when you're working, and they're a great alternative to "power boxes" when you're on a site that doesn't allow worksite wide music. The plugs failed at about 5 months, the manufacturer sent me a new set without question. Plugfones are legit as hell.

4.5 stars: After 1 month, one side starting cutting out after 10-60min of use. No amount of manipulation of the plug or wiring affects the issue. After 20min unplugged, they start working but would cut out again after a time. Until this started happening I really loved them for noise reduction, comfort, and clear audio in the noisy conditions I use them in. For the price, they fully met my expectations. The manufacturer's website has a clear 180day warranty policy so I submitted the replacement request form provided. I'll update the review once I determine their resolution. Update: the manufacturer responded a couple days after submitting my replacement request. They asked me to fill out form and email pics of the form along with my plugfones. They immediately responded saying a replacement was shipped - which I received about 4 days later. Very happy with the responsiveness. I'll report back if the new ones have any issues.

I purchased these to use on my motorcycle to both block road noise and allow me to listen to music. Based on the price I didn't expect great sound quality. Still, I want to leave an honest review. They get 4 stars for the price and they are what they are advertised. Still, sound quality simply isn't there and the road noise still over powers them. They are very comfortable and for other applications I am sure they would be great. For a full face motorcycle helmet and an android phone my experience was not exactly what i would want. For my woodworking stuff and to keep around for other projects they are ideal.

Love the headphones wished the battery life was more . Usually have to recharge during my 10 in half shift.

Looks just like earplugs. They have good sound. I work in a factory and they are perfect for on job earplugs/buds.

***Edit*** I just purchased my 3rd set of these. Why 3? Because I use these 8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. Each set has lasted approximately 1 year. I would say that is a remarkable amount of time. Face it, that is more use than most earbuds receive. They look and work just like the hearing protection provided by my place of employment, but these are earbuds, as well. I have tried other earbud options (while waiting to receive my new plugfones), and have never found anything of this quality. They really do block the ambient noise of a manufacturing plant. As far as my original assessment of comfort, I got used to them. Besides, since other earbuds are not hearing protection, the noise of the plant hurts my ears if I try to use those other ones. These are by far, the best idea! EVER!! 🙂 ***end edit*** The new design is not as comfortable as the old one. However, it is easier to replace the foam and or silicone pieces than before. Still a wonderful find.

Great sound, even the bass kinda suprised me, super comfortable and great while working in a machine shop.

Nobody can tell these are headphones. they look like regular ear plugs, I bought a little blue tooth adapter for it.

I notice the volume is a bit low for these but works just fine. Looks exactly like my earplugs for work !

Comfortable. Charge fast and the battery lasts a long time. They look like industrial earplugs not music earbuds which is good. No one can tell you are listening to music. The negative is the sound quality is very poor. I had these same headphones I bought several years ago. They still work. And the sound was way better to on the old model. Way better. But these are okay for being able to listen to music vs just plain earplugs. I use them when riding my motorcycle. They are comfortable and perfect for riding.

I bought these specifically for the in-line media controller as an upgrade for my last set of Plugfones. They keep your ears from hurting after riding the lawnmower for a few hours, yet you can still listen to your music at a reasonable volume. (Standard in-ear headphones you'd need to have the music loud enough to damage hearing to muffle out the exhaust noise.) My only complaint would be the placement of the buttons. They are close to the plug end of the wire rather than up near the microphone like other headsets I've had. Also, I believe the buttons should be spaced out a bit for my application. Trying to use them while wearing gloves, you'll bump an adjacent button more than once. There's a minus (volume down), a plus (volume up), and a circle. The circle, press once for play/pause. Press twice in succession for next track. Press three times in succession to repeat current track. (Or three times, and then immediately again three times to go to previous track.) Trying to double-tap for next song while bouncing down the lawn, I usually nudge volume up or down at least once.

I’ve never been able to watch movies or listen to music on the airplane since I have to have ear plugs in for pressure. These save my ears while allowing me to enjoy music and movies!

I work in a production environment and these work well for the floor. They work well for noise cancellation and I can still listen to my music. The cord length is long enough to tuck both the receiver and the control in the back of my shirt. Definitely would recommend.

I purchased these to serve as dual purpose . I use them to help cancel noise at work as I am a diesel technician by trade and the environments I work on can be extremely noisy and I also use these at the gym . At work they do a really good job at lowering the surrounding noise and it allows me to continually learn as I prefer to listen to training and financial podcasts . They really shine for me at the gym as I can just about drowned out the music that is blaring in the facility . These provide an excellent range of volume and the battery life is better than any other previous pair I have owned ( 4th different ones I've tried ) . Overall I am very happy with this purchase !

These are great for work. Noise suppression is good and the sound is decent, the noise cancelation isn't as good as advertised according to people I've talked to while using them earbuds.

I bought these to wear while driving my UTV. I am able to plug into the audio out of my trail radio and can hear it just fine. I've recommended these to others I ride with. The audio is good and the noise canceling is good.

They work perfectly for what I wanted them for. They look exactly like earplugs, and the cord is long enough that you can tuck it into your shirt hiding the controls. Battery life is great... it'll last a 10 hour shift of listening. 3 of my coworkers have ordered a pair after seeing these.

They fit properly with changeable ear pieces,and being they look & wear like regular ear plugs at work.Awesome

Purchased off of Amazon, sound quality better then my Corsair headset for my PC. Comfy fit, alot of noise reduction for just the standard ear buds, and good Bluetooth distance.

Purchased these while I was working a job in a papermill where it is REALLY loud. Expected to have to at least turn up the music but I was wrong. It really cancelled the background noise a lot and my music was still heard without having half volume. Only problem I have is the cord. Even though it has a clip, the cord will work it's way to one side or another as you work and end up pulling the earbud. Not a really big issue considering the trade off though. Also the durability is great. Accidently left them in my pocket and they got washed. They still worked with no loss of performance. Have recommended them to everyone who's asked about them, even site safety officers. Edit 8/9/21: lost my earbuds. Found them in a pair of shorts pocket AFTER they've been washed. This is the second time these buds have been washed. THEY STILL WORK! Changed 4 star to 5. Highly impressed

I'm not usually one to write reviews for a product, but I feel as if this warranted one. This is one of the best product I have ever purchased. They work perfectly in the high noise plant where I work and since they look just like regular earplugs, no-one was any the wiser. I received the product Sep 2, 2015, and they lasted me until Jan, 20, 2016. WELL past the 90 day manufacture warranty. I put these earplugs to the ultimate test wearing them 12hrs a day 4 days a week for 6 months straight around water, dust, chemicals, and other types of dirt and debris. I even accidentally dropped them into a bucket of water, and they came out as if nothing even happened. They did get a little dirty, but being able to easily remove the plugs from the drivers made cleaning easy. Although many reviews claim that the product was cheaply made, that was not my experience and it might not be yours. Give these earplug headphones a try, I know I did. And I just ordered another pair.

I purchased these for my son. I will be purchasing more. They are OSHA approved earplugs that allow you to still hear your phone calls. This is very convenient when you always have to be available by phone.

Recently, my workplace issued a rule that we have to wear ear protection, and we couldn’t listen to music anymore. A few of us figured we should buy some of these and use them. A few notes: They work really well as functioning ear protection, but just as the listing states, sound quality is not the first priority. They sound like $10 earbuds from Walmart, which is fine by me, but some people can’t listen to anything below professional mixing gear. Second, and this is likely just me ‘cuz I have a tad bit of a latex alergy and sensitive skin, but they irritate my skin if I wear them for more than 3 hours. I work 12 hour shifts. Overall, though, the build quality is firm, they do act as both functional headphones AND hearing protection, and the best part is, none of my bosses have realized I’m Still listening to music at work. Well worth the $20 price tag.

Sound is really good for the price. I’ve been using it at work for 2 weeks and no one has notice and hopefully never will lol

Me parece que el sonido es excelente y el precio no es tan caro para la buena calidad que son

This item is exactly what I was expecting!! I can jam or listen to podcast all through my shift confident that no one will bother me about headphones

The product is great, it works well, does what it says. I did have to wait almost 2 months as the first set was faulty, the second set came opened and missing parts, and the third set was fine but that process took forever between shipping back and forth.

I've been using these for a Solid 5 years now.. it's the only hearing protection you should have in your ears

I ordered this product since it comes with both full protection and high fidelity earplugs. I need full ear protection when I operate machinery. I also need partial ear protection when I operate a lawnmower or chainsaw but still be aware of my surroundings. Both pairs of earplugs work pretty well for me. These earplugs are comfortable to wear and stay put pretty well. They come with interchangeable silicone and foam tips. I like the fact that they come with an anti-drop cord which you can use to keep the earplugs over your neck when not wearing them, which is very convenient and one of the deciding factors for me. A little soft pouch with carabiner is provided for storage and travel as well. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with these earplugs. You get both full and partial ear protection pairs for under $35, which is a pretty good value in my book. The reason I knocked a star off is the lack of instructions. It took me some trial and error to figure out how to get the right protection out of them. Other than that, they get the job done.

I really like these headphones. I use them for mowing the lawn, tractor work and some shop work. They keep the outside noise to an appropriate level. Connected easily to my iPhone. Sound quality isn’t what you’d get out of higher end headphones, but out works for audiobooks and music that I listen to. Battery life is ok, outlast a tank of of the mower on 5 acres, and it’s easy to keen charged.

Don’t understand why the button is so close to the aux, and also the foam plugs get dirty super quickly, other than that they work great!

These are great for my workplace. The silicone tips are changeable and washable, fit even my small ear canals with reasonable comfort, and look like standard issue ear plugs. I don't have a particularly aggressive work routine, and mine are still like new even after hours of wear and tear. I drop the cord down my shirt in the back and tuck it around my side, plugged into a Bluetooth receiver (Jumbl) and that's hidden under my clothes. The sound quality is not as good as some higher end earbuds or even my Bluetooth ear muffs, but they beat the sound of my own thoughts in my head and the dull hisses and noises of machinery. I will say that the bass is pretty good for those who like that. I listen largely to documentaries and some of the more quiet speech occasionally gets lost, but I don't think that's any fault of the ear plugs. My only real complaint is the jack is not reinforced/angled like on the purple 1.0 style. I just know I am going to rip the wiring asunder eventually. I'd also personally like to see 'small' size foam or better yet silicone tips for us with tiny ear canals. Standards fit well enough for me, but others might not be so lucky.

Have had these for about 2 years since my job has been cracking down on listening to music or podcast while at work. They have decent audio and are well made. The only 2 criticisms I have are that the little black bulge that acts as the microphone is to bulky. Wish it were more incognito, also the wire that is directly connected to the jack is very sensitive. I solved this by wrapping it up with a few stops of duct tape about 1 inch long to make it sturdier so it won break like my intial pair

I work at a machine shop, I’m historically rough with inexpensive things like these headphones or buds or whatever you want to call them AND I rarely write reviews. These stupid little ear plug fakers are GREAT! Despite the tiny gauge wire which I constantly tug on, they have yet to spark out on me even once! Look, for the price, get a set, can’t beat it!

I bought these for work so I can listen to music while packing. The look just like the ear plugs we have at work so no one has noticed anything. I believe they are good value for the price. The music isn't the best compared to other earphones, but it does the job and its discrete.

Because I'm not supposed to wear headphones at work, I bought these to spoof my boss. Absolutely love 'em! Not the greatest, but as the music/sound acts to cancel out any other sounds. There are now about 10-15 pair out on the shop floor and none the wiser!

This item worked as described, but be forewarned that the 3.5mm connector is the first thing to mess up. Had mine less than 2 weeks, and I need to use my square deal return that I purchased already. I haven't yanked on or abused them in any way. The bluetooth model is so expensive, but it may be the best solution if you have to have PlugFones.

Great for what they are, they don't have the best sound quality to me, but work great for what they are intended for. Edit 5/21/2018. The guardian series if very nice spend the extra 5 dollars. The problem I have is they have not lasted more than 3 months. I thought it was from unplugging and plugging in, but I got a Bluetooth receiver and havent unplugged it since. But less than 3 months they just stopped on one side. 1/2020, I got my last pair in July of last year, still love the Guardian sets. Only thing I can think of, maybe thicker connections? But honestly I don't mind 6 months life span because that's the only reason I can tolerate my job... Thanks!!!

Use them everyday at Work.. Usually last at least 6 months..

Used for the first time on a noisy factory floor. Kept the sound to a reasonable level and allowed me to hear notifications and voice messages.

These are awesome. I've bought several cheaper options trying to find something that could work like these but they were all a waste of money. These are so comfortable and sound great and really work as good Earplugs. I was standing right in the middle of a lawn mower, a generator, and an exterior HVAC fan and they were all nothing more then a dull hum smothered by the sounds of whatever music I had on. I then got the chance to use them for the original reason I wanted them to begin with. I do motorcycle track days so I'm out on a road course race track on a motorcycle, usually I just wear Earplugs, but I like listeting to music to get me pumped. Theaw worked like a charm, very easily able to put these in and then get my helmet on over them woth no snagging or pulling etc. It drowns out the motorcycle and the wind noise and shines through the music. 10/10 should have got these a year ago or more and will get them again immediately if these ever break or get lost.

I used this in my old warehouse

I originally purchased these for the same reasons as most....to listen to music at work without getting caught because the look like earplugs! 😂 But after struggling with insomnia, I've used white noise to help me sleep for years. Needless to say, that also included waking up with sore ears from traditional earbuds. So one night, I decided to try these bad boys out and I have NO complaints at all! The noise reduction is perfect to cancel out hubby's roaring snore and also keeps me from damaging eardrum from having it too loud! Not to mention the oooh soooo comfy design! I ordered a second pair in case these break.....just so I would b able to sleep before waiting on the replacement to come in the mail!

I use all the time. I really love it.

Not sure how well they keep sound out but anything is better than nothing thats for sure. I think they are going to do the job to cut down on a lot of loud noise especially any that would hurt your hearing and you can listen to some nice music too.

Perfect for people who have to wear earplugs for work! They dont even notice i have earphones in.

I mean these aren’t beats or anything but they definitely get the job done and help me through my long shifts at night. No one even questions my ear plugs! One side shorted out a week in but I’m almost 2 months in with them and the one side working actually isn’t bad since I have to hear my work radio anyways

I bought these for a Christmas gift and my son-in-law used them at work several times and just recently told me the one side stopped any sound coming out of it. Now, I know I only paid $35 for them but honestly, don’t you think they could have lasted a year? I DONT recommend these at all ....a waste of money! I suggest paying $220 on a set that’s made by a Better company!

Keeps sound muted cheaply, looks like earplugs so i could wear them at work, pretty durable i went through like a pair ever 6+ months putting them in my pocket every day after i wore them for my 12 hour shifts. Eventually the wire would break and one of the headphones would die. They would get earwax and pocket lint on them, pretty much everything sticks to these theyre very soft, so i would wash them with soap and water at the begining of every shift. Yea for the application, these were perfect.

If you're thinking of buying, LOOK AT ALL THE PICS! It has a very obvious mic that hangs down right at your mouth. I got these because they are similar to the earplugs provided at work and, were it not for the microphone, they would be perfect.

After my Etymotic ER6i's finally died (after ~10 years) I tried several other models before finding these. I really like them. The can is short which makes it easy to get a good and comfortable fit, even when wearing a motorcycle helmet (my primary use case for these). Not only are the comfortable, but they also block out a good amount of noise. Sound quality is better than I expected. I'm a bit of an audiophile, and am hence somewhat picky. These are more than acceptable in terms of sound quality, bordering on good even, and have respectable, but not overpowering, bass response. Vocals are clear. My one gripe is that I have not yet found any markings to show which is left or right. It doesn't matter a whole lot given my specific use case for these, but still - having a clear marking would be nice.

I’m not sure if I am just to hard on these but the sound on the one side is like a whisper. Plugs are hard to keep in. I just ordered the plugfone that is one step better. Hopefully they will last longer.

These are loud and clear. Look just like the ear plugs at work so i can run the cord down the back of my shirt and nobody knows the difference. The cord is really long though so i had to tuck it in my jeans so nobody can see it. Haha

The sound quality isn't good, but they're industrial grade ear plugs and work perfectly for protecting your hearing. The sound is good enough for what it is, and the battery lasts very nearly eight hours. I've been using them for nearly 8 hours a day for over a month now.

Very durable loud and noise canceling

Sound quality isn't the best for $50 earbud but you know why you want to buy these. I talked to my manager with these on and he just assumed they where standard Earplugs. And That is the whole point of these, Honestly these make my 12 hour shift feel like 10 hours because of all the audio books I listen to. They last for about 10 hours but I also have an External Battery Pack it use to charge these some more over lunch to get me another 1.5 to 2 hours. TAKE GOOD CARE OF THESE, trust me. If you do long shifts or listen to machine noise all day long these are a blessing.

These earbuds are good and blend in well as ear plugs, but it is high treble and not much bass. No problems with them otherwise.

I have to do yard work which includes a chainsaw. It is much trial and error with these as there are no instructions provided. Once the are figured out they are amazing. To the manufacturer: PLEASE PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS!

I never liked headphones before. My ear holes were too small or something. These are such a blessing for work, as I'm running errands, or even while I garden! I get to create my own little vibe without encroaching on anyone else's ears lol. Gratzy

Updated... I work in cold temps so I bought a Bluetooth device like TaoTronics Bluetooth AUX Adapter. sewed all in a cap and Bluetooth from a Samsung s5 256gb sd card 20000 songs. Phone ebay $50, and the rest @ $20 inexpensive for a great pc, High powered mp3 player you get from this setup. I don't use this as a phone except Wi-Fi app. Great setup. OLD review follows now- I love these. I did have a problem with the connector shorting out. My fault technically because I move around a lot. But cable build quality is not good. Only if they could make a nylon sheath around cable, this would be the product. Good bass and plugs are comfortable.

These headphones are very much like the wired version of plugfones. I always loved my plugfones because I have a small ear canal and the soft foam earplug style headphones are the only earbuds I can wear comfortably. These fit identical. Sound quality is a little bit better then the wired set. Battery life is very good and got me through a 12 hour flight. The review states "noise canceling", but they are really "noise isolating" and do it as well as any foam earplugs. When watching videos, Bluetooth latency is present but fairly small. Maybe around 150 milliseconds. Not ideal, but you can get used to it. Still, I would very likely break out my wired plugfones if watching a movie. No idea how battery life will hold out in the long term, but as with any lithium battery powered device, charging should only be done when necessary to maximize lifespan. UPDATE: I dropped my rating to 4 star due to an annoying feature. When the battery gets low, it will interrupt your audio and announce the battery is low, put it on a charger. I would be fine with that except this announcement occurs once per minute with a low battery. If the mfg is paying attention to these reviews, please change this to be a single announcement per power cycle with a final warning before shutdown, but no other.

I love them! The larger pieces are easily hidden below the collar and go completely undetected... Definitely helps the day go by listening to music and eliminates all the loud machines.. The bonus was when I could hold whole conversations on the phone while working and they could actually hear me regardless of my surroundings! The only things is wish were better was the battery needs a longer life and instead of 1 clip 2 would be better and a better quality clip. Otherwise I'm impressed!

To begin with, these earplugs + earphones are not intended for audiophiles, but are focused on two objectives: battery life, and protection against noise. And both do their job. I used them for about 7 hours, listening to audio and some occasional calls, so they last a whole working day without the need to place them in the case to recharge. They can be recharged several times before having to charge the case, and you also have the other pair of earphones. 30 hours without the need to plug them into a power outlet makes them ideal for long trips. Good noise cancellation, they work like earplugs, blocking a lot of the noise that is on the ramp of an airport where I work, although I recommend using overhead earmuffs in those places. The quality of the microphone is acceptable. The sound quality is its weak point, it is quite flat, although they are loud. The buttons work ok, although you have to press them a bit hard, personally I prefer these physical buttons than not the tactile ones. They don't fall out of the ears, after a few hours they can start to bother me, but that happens to me with all the earbuds. The case looks very cheap and low quality, not in line with the price of these earphones. I think they should include a second case for the second pair of earbuds, even if it does not provide a charge, but to be able to carry them from one place to another, since the main case is a bit large and does not fit in the pockets. In conclusion: they are not to enjoy and concentrate listening to music, but they are recommended to protect yourself from dangerous noises and listen to music in the background while working or traveling or doing other activities.

I use this at work, during those long and lonely shifts at the warehouse. We are not required to wear earplugs but are forbidden from carrying a phone. I run the cord inside my shirt and a small hole in my pocket allows me to completely hide the fact that these are actually headphones. I have a sandisk mp3 player loaded with audiobooks and these work great. I have had them for over a month and not a single issue. I see some feedback saying they break or one ear goes out over a short period of time, but this hasn't been a problem for me. Perhaps because I am not constantly checking my player or removing the cord from the player on a regular basis. I am very satisfied with these and will repurchase when they do break. Worth every penny!

These plugfones have made work musically better! I honestly never thought I would run into something like this but randomly after days of searching, I found these. I work 10hr shifts and have the plugfones linked to my galaxy watch which has my music on it since I cant have my phone with me at work. I have yet to have the battery die during a shift although my watch barely makes it or dies right before shift end. I comment them while my watch is in airplane mode which helps the watch stay longer but I haven't had a battery issue with the headset yet. Sound quality is acceptable. It's not Bose...maybe slightly better than a walmart cheap pair of headphones but...music is music. They really do look like earplugs. That's the awesome part. I tuck the cord into my shirt so all that can be seen is a blue cord and yellow earplugs, no control or counterweight. I have had a constant issue with the plugfones seeming to get an intermittently poor connection for a second randomly. It happens about 6-8 times in a 10hr shift so I cant complain that much about it. The song will skip or slow down for a moment and then it's back to normal. This is probably the only issue I've had and I knew it was possible since others have mentioned it in reviews. Overall I would say that I'm incredibly happy that someone actually invented these. Do I think they should be sold at $50? Well..there isnt really anyone else selling them so more power to them. Are they worth that? Honestly, not really but they conceal the fact that I have music and they work pretty well as a whole. I paid $50 because music while I work is worth that much to me.

Worked great for a couple weeks, then the buttons quit working.

the noise reduction was very good, the fit was good and the sound was also very good, buy after about 3 or 4 applications when I tried to remove them the right ear foam piece stayed in my ear and had to be removed by someone else because I couldn't get a grip on it. They should have lasted longer than that.

I work on a lot of jobs requiring ear protection and i always like to listen to music while i work (hydrovac excavation) and many pipelines won’t let you wear earbuds. These work not only as great earbuds/plugs they also look enough like normal earplugs I’ve never been caught. 10/10 would buy again

I'm to lazy but it's good

My husband has to wear ear plugs at work, we found these and he absolutely LOVES them. Said the quality of the speakers are great, while also being totally noise canceling.

I used these under my helmet during a recent cross-country motorcycle trip, and I am very pleased. They do muffle a fair amount of noise, and the audio quality is good, with a healthy amount of bass while also not sounding tinny on the other end of the spectrum. The cord is long, and I appreciated that the headphones have a piece to cinch the cords closer together. Also included is a “cord tamer” and a surprisingly useful carrying case. Finally, I got caught in the rain while wearing these which turned out to be a positive experience because it made the ear pieces more pliable, providing a better fit.

Works great

For years, I’ve struggled with finding headphones that actually work inside of my full-face motorcycle helmet ... until now. These are without question the only headphones that allow you to hear your music on a bike without having to be so loud that you’re most likely damaging your hearing. Be careful though that you don’t get in the habit of having the volume too loud. Don’t adjust it based on feel. Set a maximum number of bars on your volume setting and don’t go above it. I recommend adjusting the volume before your ride. As these headphones go into the ear, they can also be dangerous to your hearing. I would say that I wear these on my bike sans music as often as with. They still provide much needed decibel reduction from damaging wind roar, and if I get a critical notification on my phone for work, I know to pull over and deal with it. In addition, these are the only headphones I’ve been able to wear while running. Every other pair I’ve ever had fall out after about 50 feet. The only thing is that it is a little weird to lock out the surrounding noise while you run. It can make you feel a bit like you’re under water. Your foot falls and breathing can get a little loud inside your head, if you know what I mean. But they are still the best exercise headphones I’ve ever had. I will say that I have a couple of caveats, hence the 4 stars and not five. First, they are still fairly cheap headphones. My first pair were the executive style and I loved them. But my arm caught the cord once while jogging and pulled the wires right out of the 3.5 mm jack. I’ve read other reviewers say the same thing happened to them. He next pair I tried I found at a local hardware store and they were the orange and blue construction variety. These were completely different quality than the executive. On this pair, every vibration of the cord was sent directly into my ear drum. I hated them and ripped them to pieces in anger in the middle of a run. ? But then I bought another pair of the executive type and all is well again. So, I am $60 in on these cheap earbuds at this point. But obviously the second pair is my own fault. Stick with the executive style and I think you’ll be pleased. Ultimately, these are a niche little product and probably not for everyone. If you care about protecting your hearing though, and you’re comfortable putting earplugs in, these just might be the best headphones you’ve ever owned. Okay, one final thing I’ll say and warning, this is a little gross. But these headphones keep my ears from getting excessive ear wax buildup. Which means, at first, you’re probably going to see a lot of it come out on your ear buds. But over time this gets better and weirdly, using the earbuds is now how I keep my ears clean. So, be prepared for that. I warned you it was going to be gross.

These are awesome! I work in commercial and industrial construction and ear protection is a must. I like to listen to music but that’s not always an option but now with the pluggones I get the best of both worlds. Being osha compliment is a must and the tips are the same as you would get on any site. They are a good fit, I find that the foam ones are a little more comfortable when using all day but they also get dirty fast so I mainly use the rubber plug style. You get two sets of each type of plugs so if something is wrong or dirty they are easy to swap out. If placed correctly they will stay in all day and have no issues. Battery time is no joke either, I work 10 hr days sometimes more and they last the whole time without an issue. When you first turn them on they let you know he battery level (high med or low) And lastly the range is decent as well, I don’t typically go to far from my phone but iv noticed instead of just cutting out they fade which I thought was pretty cool. I have been about 100-200’ away or more without any issue in an open area. A+ product as far as I’m concerned and will hold up well. If you like music and need ear protection these are eh way to go.

I generally can't stand earbud headphones—they never stay in my ears and aren't comfortable—but about a year ago I discovered Koss Plugs, which have memory foam ear inserts and managed not to fall out as a result. I liked those, but the sound quality wasn't great and eventually they physically wore out and needed to be replaced. I looked around and found these, which are slightly more expensive than the Plugs were, but were well reviewed and had a few features that the Plugs don't: the jack lead isn't angled, so it fits nicely through my iPhone case, there's an inline volume and pause control as well as a microphone (which I've actually never used, so I can't comment on its quality), and they function as real earplugs with a distinct reduction in ambient noise. I spend about an hour every day listening to music on a bus; buses are not known for being the quietest of places, and when I have these headphones in—even with no music playing—my environment is noticeably quieter and much more pleasant for that, and as headphones these sound pretty nice, with more bass than I've come to expect from small drivers. Additional points for unexpected durability: I accidentally washed these headphones once and they still sound fine. My only complaint with them is that besides the microphone there's no obvious indication of left/right, so I actually swapped my left plug with a different colored spare. You can tell which side is which for sure by looking at an embossed marking on the driver, but that's difficult in poor lighting conditions.

Loves these very comfortable and discrete. Working in a factory around loud presses being able to listen to music and still have approved headlines makes the day go much faster

These served me well over the years but I have upgraded to the Bluetooth ones. The customer service at plugfone is amazing too.

I have two motorcycle helmets, a Nolan N104 and a Schuberth C3 pro. I use a Sena 20s on both, the Nolan was so damn loud at 70mph, I could barely hear anything. The C3pro is quietest helmet made, with Plugphones my Nolan is quieter and I can hear everything at 80mph. I now pulled the speakers out of the C3P and went with plug phones for that helmet as well. When putting them in my ears, I wet the plug phones with my finger and no need to compress them, they slide right in! They Don't have the bass some other earbuds do, but in noisy environments, the price is right and you won't do much better than these.

Been using my new fones all day and can’t find anything bad so far. I don’t know what else I would need in earplug/headphones they are load and clear and the mic works great! I love that I can change volume and skip songs or pause play answer calls. All in all great product.

Sound quality isn't the best for $50 earbud but you know why you want to buy these. I talked to my manager with these on and he just assumed they where standard Earplugs. And That is the whole point of these, Honestly these make my 12 hour shift feel like 10 hours because of all the audio books I listen to. They last for about 10 hours but I also have an External Battery Pack it use to charge these some more over lunch to get me another 1.5 to 2 hours. TAKE GOOD CARE OF THESE, trust me. If you do long shifts or listen to machine noise all day long these are a blessing.

First impressions. Will re-review in a few months. These are fantastic on motorcycle with helmet at highway speeds. I searched the World Wide Web for weeks looking for this type of headphones for motorcycle riding. They don’t come out when putting on helmet. The sound is way better than expected. Even have decent enough bass. I don’t need to turn volume up to highest setting. I was really stunned how much ambient sound was being blocked out at speed when securely in ear. One issue I seem to have is pairing. I can’t seem to just turn them on and have them automatically connect to my iPhone. I have to long push from off to re-pair every time and manually connect from Bluetooth settings. Unlike every other speaker or ear buds I use. It’s weird. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. I may be a dumdum. Battery life seems to be as advertised. Some other ratings say they stopped working after a year or something. We shall see. So far, excellent and decent price. Update. Been about 5 or 6 months. Still good. The first set of memory foam tips wore out and broke pretty quickly. Probably from trying to keep them clean. But the plasticy rubbery ones work great too. A little uncomfortable in ear but when riding don’t notice. Still love them.

I use these to block out sound in our moderately noisy office. Without music, they don't completely block out the external chatter. However, I only have to play white noise/music at a very low volume to completely block external sounds. It does provide overall better isolation than average earbuds. Ive had them for a month and no quality /connection issues. I use the silicone plugs. I found the foam ones worthless.

I use this product for work; & they work well for what I need them to provide in my work environment!

Where I work my boss has banned me from using headphones, completely ignoring the fact that they actually HELP me focus and work more efficiently. These have been a lifesaver. They seem to trick the fascist fool and have withstood the harsh environment that I work in. I even accidentally sent them through the wash and they still work. For the same money you can probably get better sound quality out of a normal pair, so you're definitely paying for the camouflage. They fit more comfortably than normal earplugs, too.

I have used these for years and they usually work for at least 6 to 9 months before they stop working. The most recent pair I purchased didnt work right out of the package. One ear had no sound, and the other popped in and out with normal and quiet sound. I like this product, but seeming that they are made for construction personnel they should be a little bit more rigid.

I have finally found a pair of earbuds that will stay in my ears. I have tried so many prices ranging from inexpensive to very expensive nothing has worked until I found the Plugphones Sovereign. Finally!

Use the headphones everyday with the battery tucked under my tee shirt and the little clip attached to the back of my collar. Nobody has even asked about them because they look and are legit safety rated earplugs...it just so happens these have a little secret lol. Best part, you can pack them deep into the ear and seal out most sound or wear them a little lighter and still hear what's going on around you. Makes my 8/9 hour shift fly by a little easier when I'm listening to stuff. Now at first, I thought it might be distracting but it actually helped my work because I'm focused better. Even if I pause the media they are still solid little earplugs. Battery lasts the whole shift. Your phone may die before these do. Highly recommend if you want to drown out annoying coworkers. 5 star imo. Game changer.

They work really well they are loud so you don't have to turn your music or what ever you listen too I like them very much

The best $50 ever spent. Works well to use at Amazon. Discreet as can be. Had direct encounters with managers and they didn’t say crap. Get the orange ones for most discreet.

Left ear bud don’t work ! First pair I bought work great for the 5 months I had them ! 2nd pair trash 🙄

I work in a warehouse where headphones aren’t allowed but I need music to get me through an entire shift. So I searched for some earphones that looked like the ear plugs at work “which I thought I’d have no luck with” but I found these and read a good amount of reviews and decided to try them out for myself. I was skeptical about the sound quality but they sound very good quality to me. It comes with a case that includes different size heads which I love! As well as a comfort neck support that can come off.

I picked these up since they came heavily recommended from a biker group on discord. My handlebar speakers finally crapped out on me after a good 7 years, so I was in the position of either buying new speakers or was also looking into in helmet audio options. Now, at the same time, I've noticed a degradation in my overall hearing when it comes to hearing people speak in loud places. It was concerning to me, so the idea of ear plugs for hearing protection also started to hit me. After trying some of the other ear plugs like high fidelity plugs from Etymotic, and 3m foamies, and airpod pros. I thought wow the ear protection from road and wind noise on the motorcycle is great, but I need some tunes back in my ride. I've now had these headphones for about a month of daily commuting and here are my thoughts. Pros: - the foam tips to a really good job at noise reduction. I'd say the claimed 30db is accurate enough if you get them in your ears properly. - tunes are completely audible at a lower end volume up to about 45mph, over that and you can bump it up until you slow down again. I am not commuting on highways at top speeds, so can't comment on that, but they seem to get pretty loud. - the buttons are easily found around the neck while riding. - battery seems good enough, have only charged it once when I opened it. I ride about 3 days a week, about 20-40 minute commutes. - These easily stay in place while wearing either a full face or a half helmet - can easily be worn for ear protection without using the speakers for when you want to eliminate the road noise but don't need music. Cons: - they can get a little uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. - I think the headphone itself could be a little larger. to get these properly seated in the ears, you need to really push them in there, so it doesn't leave much left to grab before your fingers are essentially putting pressure on the wire. I do think this will be the ultimate weak point of these headphones over time, but so far so good. -price isn't bad compared to in helmet audio solutions or handlebar speakers. (if you go helmet audio, remember that you'll probably need to upgrade your helmet as well) - They default to middle/upper volume when you turn them on so if you are not prepared, it might be considered a bit loud. I need to adjust the volume down every time I turn them on. - I'm sure any true audiophile would not find these satisfactory, but for me they sound great. I listen to a wide range of music from heavy metal to drum and bass. I enjoy great sounding audio. So for what these offer at this price point, WITH ear protection, WHILE riding a motorcycle is actually pretty decent IMO. Overall, I'm satisfied, and will see how well they hold up over time.

These headphones are great, the sound quality is great, it blocks out most noise but still allows you to hear things around you and the battery life is from 8.5-9 hrs. They are discreet in design as they resemble safety ear plugs. I have tried many different Bluetooth headphones and these I highly recommend. Make sure to use the included clip because they will tend to pull down if you don't.

These are the best ear phones and also pretty great as ear plugs. Many earbuds don't stay in my ears and they're hard and uncomfortable. These are the only ones that really work for me. I can sleep in them too. It's important to clean them with alcohol after using.

I originally gave this product A ONE STAR RATING but a week later found a way to make these work very well so I changed it to a FOUR STAR RATING. Neither of the Plugfones ear plugs that comes with this product worked for me. So if neither of them works for you then read on! MOTORCYCLE APPLICATION WITH FULL FACE HELMET (extremely high noise environment) The Plugfones comes with two types of ear plugs: 1) Tapered foam, and 2) Ribbed silicone THE PLUGFONES TAPERED FOAM EAR PLUGS: The foam plugs ought to be the ones to use in order to provide the highest level of noise reduction. However, the foam inserts simply do not fit into my ear canal far enough to provide a "good" level of noise reduction (like traditional foam ear plugs do). They are simply too large to fit into my ear canal properly. There are many reviews here agreeing with this so I know I am not alone. The foam plugs are simply too large (when the plastic speaker inserts are inserted) to fit properly into the ear canal and thus the product is a no-go for me. THE PLUGFONES RIBBED SILICONE EAR PLUGS: Using the silicone ribbed ear plugs I can get them to fit into my ear canals more deeply but the overall noise reduction level of this product is completely INSUFFICIENT to provide proper protection for my ears. I went out and rode for 20 minutes with them and the noise levels are simply too high and I believe it would result in permanent hearing loss if I used them long-term and thus the product is a no-go for me. HOW I MADE THIS PRODUCT WORK FOR ME: I have always used the standard yellow 3M tapered foam ear plugs and they fit into my ear canal very well and gives so much noise reduction I can barely hear someone talking that is standing right next to me. I can barely hear them talking - but I cannot understand anything they are saying. Very good protection. And I was able to find a way to modify them to work! 🙂 HOW TO MODIFY 3M TAPERED FOAM EAR PLUGS (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO): I drilled out my ear plugs so the Plugfone base part will easily insert into my ear 3M tapered foam plugs and they work beautifully! However, you CAN'T drill the foam ear plugs at room temperature! You have to freeze them before you can successfully drill them out. I used a 7/64" drill bit and drilled about 1/2" deep into the 3M foam ear plug. See photos.

Excelente producto, nunca pensé que sería tan útil, su batería tiene un buen rendimiento, excelente sonido, buen manejo para contestar llamadas, lo único que no me gustó que su empaque no es el mejor muy frágil y poco llamativo en comparación con otros y no tiene estuche para guardarlos.

These are great wired ear buds. Only thing be nice heavier wire to the buds. Good clear sound. Look just like ear plugs.

I originally wrote a review that was not favorable on these. After I got over being mad at the manufacturer about them originally being ruined by sweat and not replacing them I tried many other types of noise-canceling earbuds. These really are the best you can get. They lasted six months of hard use, grease, dirt, being yanked out of my ears when they get snagged on something and completely soaked with sweat daily. I drive heavy equipment and really enjoy listening to contemporary yodeling with falsetto. To appreciate the beauty and talent associated with that it's imperative to hear it clearly. Nothing gets me as close as listening in the bathtub as these bad boys. I can drive the tractor and close my eyes and see myself in a meadow beneath the mountain where the notes are eccowing throughout the mountainside, harmonizing with the blades of grass as they move through the breeze. You can almost taste the pollen in the air from the crisp pine tree bleeding sap from the cracks in the bark from new growth in the spring after a hard snow. If you want that kind of satisfaction from earbuds buy two because in six months when you wear them out from daily use you wont want to miss a day of satisfaction. If I could rate this six stars I would.

These are perfect for yard work. Totally block out the motor noise and stay in your ears comfortably. The sound is pretty good but does distort at higher volumes but they stay put all day. All the other Bluetooth earbuds I have tried are frustrating because I have to stop and put them back in my ear or, they don't block the ambient noise. They are a little pricey but the battery will last all day. They will also drowned out the annoying coworker that won't stop talking.

Awesome product I work in manufacturing and can hear Awesome and still blocks out noise from my job can still hear someone if they need to talk to me do need to have your phone with you because if you get to far away it will break up

Bought these to replace the original plugfones because those broke on me after 4 years. The new model works well but not as well as the old ones. -These ones don't quite match the color of our earplugs at work (3M yellow and blue) the old ones were spot on -It seems like these aren't as loud as the old ones although they are still plenty loud for factory work. I find myself having to turn them down to have a conversation however, I still hear Hilo traffic fine. -These work with the tips from the old style which is good if you have leftover tips. -Noise muffling is on par with normal earplugs even with the music off. -it seems like these ones aren't as sturdy however they haven't broke yet. Will update of these last shorter than 4 years.

Have great so far. My only complaint is the noise canceling, but I do work in a factory setting.

Purchased for my husband as an alternative to wearing larger noise cancellation muffs while using a chainsaw, mowing, etc. He came in to tell me to get him a backup pair because they’re so awesome. They are not quite the equal of large expensive muff-style protection but pretty close, and so much more convenient than the big ones. Maybe I’ll order a pair for myself for his deep snoring nights...

I'm not too much of an audiophile, so I don't care that my audio is not perfect, but it is perfect for me. I have yet to get caught using these at my assembly job where ear protection is required and music is banned. These are also excellent at noise cancelling. You will want to adjust the accessibility settings on your phone to move the audio to one side of the earbuds because at a certain volume, you can NOT hear anything whatsoever! I pair these with a bluetooth receiver hidden in my shirt. We are allowed to have bags with us, so I keep my phone in my purse and no one is the wiser. I've actually been told to put them back in as I took them out to talk to someone! The wire is indeed pretty long, but nothing you can't coil up and tape. Highly recommended!

Great sound quality and outstanding noise cancellation, extended battery life. I charge them over night and they last through my whole entire 10 hr shift of straight podcasts lol.

Exactly what I was looking for

Husband works in a factory and uses these daily! It's been a year now and they still work great 👍

They work, but are a little too fat to fit comfortably in my small ear canals. I wear the small size tips on other earbuds. If you wear medium or large you'll be fine.

Husband loves, not the best quality, but perfect for what he needs

They definitely sound better then their corded model. Battery lasts forever too which is awesome. Only problem I had with mine was one of the buds came apart when I first got it. I pushed it back together cause I didn't want to go through that hassle of returning it and so far so good it's held up fine. Honestly with safety oriented jobs sites these things have changed my life. God forbid safety sees you wearing headphones but they absolutely love it when you have hearing protection in!

I enjoy going to concerts and music festivals once in a while. The first time I went to a festival in Germany, I brought my army issued ear protection just in case. I’m glad I did. Every performance is different at a festival. Some bands have things set up all crazy where you’re in a cramped space with giant bass speakers that drown out the entire song and ruin the experience. Not only does it sound bad but it hurts the ears too. This was a band I really enjoyed on Spotify but hearing them live I thought I’d get hearing damage, even with basic cheapo ear protection. I got Plugfones because I’m getting back into live music now that restrictions are going away. Plugfones are actual earplug earphones, which is what you want when it comes to hearing protection. OSHA compliance and an NRR 22 safety rating give me the confidence that my hearing will be safe in those cramped venues where even if you’re in the back your hearing isn’t safe. And if there’s ever a band I’m crazy about playing and it’s all bass drowning out the melody, now I can sync up that same song on Bluetooth and enjoy watching the band upfront and live.

Edit: item arrived broken, contacted plugphones and they are sending a new pair. I enjoy using every minute of these while I’m at work, I’m a welder so music saves me from thinking too much, plus they look like the earplugs my work supplies.

They wear the same as your typical yellow rubber ear plugs. The charge will get you through a 10 hour shift at work. So it comes with a clip put it on and clip it to your shirt between the battery and the controls. You can listen to a book or music just fine in a loud environment, however phone calls is harder for who you are talking to hear you in loud areas because of the mike does cancel out the background

Works as advertised. I use these to listen to audiobooks while at work on a construction site with a Jumbl bluetooth adapter. I've been using them for about a week with the silicone ear pieces. They block out the noise from a metal cutting chop saw just as well as a normal pair of re-useable silicone ear plugs. I just clean them with safety glasses cleaner at the end of the day and they're good to go. Sound quality is suprisingly good after reading some of the other reviews, but I don't exactly need perfect quality for an audiobook. So far I have nothing bad to say about these.

Ok Ive had my pair for almost a year (You purchased this item on April 20, 2018.), still work no damage and Im not gentle with them, I work with heat and welding metal all day long. My only disapproval is is the battery life which states 12, at first it did last up to 15 but over the past years its continuously dropped to around a little less then 8. Also there is this weird noise thats like a cd skipping that happens randomly the only way to clear it is to turn them off and turn them back on and reconnect, on one occasion it wouldnt shut off I have to plug it in to get it to reset but tricking it my charging it for 5 second then start then back up, thats happened once so far. I still have the original ear plugs it came with they have seen better days but over all I use then everyday up to 8 hrs a day and 5 days a week. I cant complain cause they have worked well for me. I keep seeing reviews about they break after a month or even a week, what the hell are you people doing with them? Using them as a rope to swing across caverns. My single complaint is the battery life, and being that its been almost a year Im sure its no longer covered under any warranty

Lasted me exactly 346 days. After about 9 months one side started cutting in and out, I was okay with that. But less then a full year into its purchase the whole headset ha seized to play any sound. I'll be ordering ankther pair hoping that this second pair will last longer.

I use these for work everyday and they go through a lot of abuse and have held up fine. The only thing about them that is a draw back for music is they have 0 bass. I guess that’s the trade off for such a small speaker. Still sounds pretty good just no bass. I listen to podcasts all day at work so it isn’t a big deal. Battery life is around 10-15 hours depending on how loud and how often I pause. The pause button or Bluetooth connecting or something has gone funky on me. I have to hit the button 3 times on the unit or twice on my phone to get it to play after pausing. Not a deal breaker just annoying, didn’t start out this way. Would still 10/10 recommend to anyone interested!!

I love these earphones. They are definitely an upgrade from the cheaper version. They sound crisp, the bass is just right. They are fantastic, sound quality wise. BUT, I have to buy a pair every 3 months because I use these every single day. I have a hot, sweaty, constant pace job and that somehow causes one the ear phones to short out, and somehow it seems to be right at 3 months. But still, before that third month hits, they are quality sound earphones that will keep you going all day. Also. The silicone buds are fantastic. The foam buds these come with are horrible. You can easily attach them, but trying to remove them without destroying them is impossible for me. The silicone is all I use. They do make the inside of my ears itchy at times, but nothing major.. Just remove the buds (which is simple with the silicone) and clean them. Just be prepared to buy up to 4 pairs a year. ( I'm about to be on my 3rd this year alone because my second pair just died.)

Great bass and sound. No complaints so far at all. It does exactly what the maker defines. Disguises as earplugs, noise cancellation is great. I'm in and out of a factory all day, yes I hear various noises, but it's perfect for the price and provides exactly what I need to "wear earplugs" PPO, and enjoy music while I'm in a factory. Also they are comfortable. If you wear earplugs all day, you will not have any complaints. If you're not used to wearing earplugs, I can see the discomfort.

I like most that these earbuds are OSHA approved and ANSI certified because I can wear them at work and hear my music safely. They’re comfortable and durable. Two complaints- 1) the volume controls are at the phone end of the wires instead of closer to the user (small issue) and 2) there are only one set each of both types of ear plugs. They get dirty quick and it seems there should be multiples provided for replacement when they get too dirty. Other than those two small issues, these are great quality.

Works very well for using as an ear plug. Sound quality is a little to be desired, but truthfully it’s worth the sacrifice. Battery longevity is amazing. Have never run out of battery life yet, even using for 9 hours almost steadily. Having a dual weight distribution keeps them centered all day. I have already purchased multiple pairs just in case! Definitely a must buy if you need earplugs and want music/podcasts/books while you work. Works very well for phone calls also. Have used with helmet on a motorcycle and also work well. Enjoy them!!

This's my 3rd pare of plugfones in the past 6 or 7 years as i abuse the hell out of them at work as a welder. They work fantastic for several reasons. One if your like me and are not allowed to wear headphones at work & work in a place where earplugs are common then these r the only way to go! They have several styles that match several different versions of the 3m brand earplugs (which are the best) so you blend right in at work as the shape, size, and color is a perfect match. It is nice because unlike regular headphones/earphones Plugfones also work how they look, as actual earplugs. Which is obviously good for safety reasons but is also great because u can hear your music better using these on a loud jobsite because they actually keep out the surrounding noise as earplugs are designed to do unlike regular headphones/earphones where u have to crank the music louder to drown out the background noise. In all honesty they obviously don't sound as good as a pair of Bose earphones or whatever but alot of that is also because they are actual earplugs so the sound is literally going through a small 1/16" hole. So no matter how fantastic the mini speakers are made they can never sound as good coming through a very tiny hole. Don't get me wrong as they definitely sound good but they are designed for the reasons I listened above. They are an excellent safety version of headphones and they are ideal for anyone that works in a shop or a jobsite. This was my 1st time buying this exact version as these ones have the built in mic with volume controls right on he cord so it can be used to talk on the phone similar to the ones that come with most good phones now. This kind also has replaceable plugs themselves (the actual earplug piece) so u can replace them as they get real dirty, which is definitely worth the extra money compared to the standard version. If you're considering buying some of these but don't wanna spend the money to get these u can also buy what I originally bought my other 2 times which is the basic version. The basic version has no mic, no volume control buttons, and the ear pieces aren't replaceable. So if u do dirty work like me as a welder then they really need to be cleaned at the end of each day otherwise they get pretty nasty, as I'm sure they would eventually anyhow just from ear crud! While it's obviously not as nice to have to take better care of them due to the ear piece not being replaceable, it is a cheaper version so u can decide how much u really wanna spend on them. Because they do have even better versions still! As of a year or so ago they now also have a Bluetooth version which is just awesome! Those ones are obviously more expensive since they're Bluetooth but are really cool for sure! Those ones just have the connecting cord that goes behind your neck so they look even more like regular earplugs since u don't have the wire dangling down to your phone anymore, which kinda makes it obviously they aren't regular earplugs. If u do get one of the corded versions what I do is I run the cord down inside the back of my shirt so that the cord going into my phone isn't visible to all my bosses (only because we're not allowed to use headphones at my work). I personally prefer the 3m style yellow silicone version with the blue cord as that's what's most common at my work, plus they're really comfortable. But my work carries several types and colors of the 3m corded earplugs and Plugfones actually makes a version to match them all, and they carry whichever u prefer whether the silicone or the foam versions. So these things are definitely worth getting! 👍👍👍

I had bought the plugfones guardian ear buds at a local hardware store and loved them. One side stopped working after about 9 months and I bought another pair and one side went out after about 9 months. Then I bought the basic ones because I never use the foam plugs just the silicone plugs and it was cheaper. The sound quality is good but not as good as the guardians but they have lasted over a year and are still going strong.

I bought these for my husband who had already worn out a pair of Plugfones. He really likes how durable they are.

Just Like it, love the wireless, also, due to ear protection with music. Use for mowing, outside entertainment.

excellent

I've ordered my second pair because I wanted to leave a pair at work. I find traditional ear buds very uncomfortable so I love these as an alternative. Good battery life; no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend.

I got these for work because they don’t allow headphones but they do allow ear plugs. These are absolutely perfect and way better then expected 👍

Works great to reduce noise. However the sound quality is rather poor. You also really need to crank up the volume to hear anything around noisy or loud equipment.

I use this on a motorcycle and its great. Even at highway speeds, I can hear the podcasts on my phone at half volume. This also blocks out sound better than the concert ear buds I used previously. 5/5 highly recommend

Very convincing as ear plugs where ear buds aren't allowed. I wish the cord was about 6 inches longer but it works.

This is my second pair after the first pair lost audio in one side after 6 years of tough use and abuse. I not only would buy them again, I did. Please do follow the directions to reach behind your head and pull your ear back while inserting the earbud on each side. You’ll be glad you did.

I always use these headphones! The only reason that I have to keep getting more is because I rip them at work. They are about 26 dB for NRR and sound just as good as SkullCandy Jibs™ and are very worth it. I recommend tj

In construction they don’t want you to listen to music on headphones or out loud half of the time. But if your headphones look like ear plugs…… ya they are great. Now I just want some that look like the push in ear plugs without the cord and I will be in heaven. Sound quality was ok but that’s fine there is a concrete saw in the background too. They are perfectly comfortable and legitimately cancel a ton of sound like legit ear plugs. Price is a little high but they market demand is kinda niche so I get it. Overall I’m 100% satisfied

I read several bad reviews on these but I have had zero problems with them. It's nice being able to listen to things while I'm working, and no one seems to know the difference between these and the disposable plugs! I'd say they are worth the money. Sounds quality is as good as some name brand earbuds I've used. Just make sure the speaker is well inserted in the earplug body and they're great.

I purchased these back in January for my boyfriend. He works in a industrial plant with a lot of very loud machines. He needed some earplugs that he could pair with his iPhone. So I got these and he absolutely loves them!! I told him I was doing a review and he said “ give them 10 stars all the way around” lmao! He lost them last night and had to work today without them. He said it’s the worst day ever at work cause he doesn’t have his ear plugs and can’t listen to his audiobooks while he works. So here I am On here now to order him another pair!

The only complaint is the battery low notification is way too frequent, tell me it's low once and I got it, no need to keep saying it every thirty seconds until they die. And the voice notification saying the battery is low is way too long, chime once or twice instead god its so annoying.

It is a much better build than the liberator. The mic is built into the controls which was a major problem with the liberator because it stuck out like a sore thumb for people trying to hide that they are using headphones (also the mic is the first place for the Liberators to fail). Unfortunately the sound quality of these are not as good. The bass is lacking but for people who work in noisy environments, this is really the only choice except for bone conduction headphones which sound even worst than these. They are decent and worth the $50 price. The Liberators are too fragile for the $99, these are much more hearty.

UPDATE: So I bought these September 2nd, today is 12/27. Seems like they disconnect more than they did the first couple minutes. No idea if it's phone related or earbud related, but it seems to happen more with one of my pairs than the other. To fix it I have to go to my device to forget the earbuds, and then I have to repair them. Then they're fine. I have two pairs, and between the two they get about 36 hours worth of use per weekend. I always have one charging and the other one in my ears, been that way for 4 months now. So I wear these at work to listen mainly to audiobooks. I work in a machine shop, and I couldn’t tell you the exact decibel level, but I know it’s under OSHAs limit requiring ear plugs, I always wore earplugs anyway. These block out the outside noise nearly as well as earplugs of similar construction when not being used to listen to anything. Sound quality to me isn’t that important. As far as I can tell the quality is pretty good. Easy to pair and the buttons are pretty self explanatory. Now for the negatives. Advertised battery life is 10 hours. I didn’t expect to get the full 10, because that’s just how it is. I get about 7-8 hours on a full charge. It would be able to work my full 12 hour day without a charge in the middle. Fortunately, I just bought a second unit, so I listen till the low battery comes on, then switch it out. The cord doesn’t like to stay in place. The included clip is useless. I found the best way is to rest the cord on the back of my neck and cross the ear plugs in front. Might look dumb, but it works. Those last two are fairly trivial, this last one is the only one that really bugs me. It sometimes disconnects out of nowhere. My phone is in my pocket and all of a sudden my audiobook stops and all I hear is “disconnected”. So I have to turn it off and then back on and it connects right away. It take 30 seconds to a minute to do, and it’s just a pain in the rear if I’m busy.

So I normally don't leave reviews, and my initial opinion on these was that they're decent and allow me to listen to music while also protecting my ears from loud ambient noise. The sound quality was about what I expected from a tiny bud hidden in an ear plug. I love the extra long cord that lets me hide the controls under the collar of my shirt. Overall pleased with them, EXCEPT for something that blew my mind! I may have accidentally ran them through the washing machine. And the rinse cycle. Oops.(Remember to check your pockets!) However, I let them dry for a day or so, charged them back up, and they still work well enough that I don't need to replace them. I don't recommend washing them though, they're not supposed to be water (and detergent) proof and the sound in the left bud is a tad muffled now after the rinse cycle. But they have no issues fully charging connecting, or playing music, and still protect my ears despite the impromptu bubble bath! That deserves 5 stars from me! Battery-wise, they tend to go about 9 and a half hours of continuous use before dying. I can charge them up on my commute to and from work. The washing machine incident didn't affect the battery life at all, it's the same now as it was when I first tried them. Definitely recommended if you want some tunes to help tune out loud noise without bulky over-ear muffs, or if you're not allowed to have music at work and wanna be sneaky.

sound is not great but it works okay. ear plugs are very bulky too.. hard to fit in ear canal

Dont waste your money buy some treks they are way better last longer and more durable plus u can get a base pair for about 80$ MY PLUG PHONES SUCKED BUT I BOUGHT 3 pair of treks my self in 5 years my wife a pair and her mother and all of them still work today

So I owned a pair of plugfones prior to them updating this newer model and fell in love with them. However, their previous model didn't have the durability I was hoping for. I work in a factory setting with hard hats and earplugs are required. These nifty plugfones gave me the ear protection while still being able to listen to my tunes, whoever created these are genius! They look just like the ones at my work so don't draw much attention, and this newer version lets you choose wether you want the foam or silicone base. They seemed to hold up much better than the previous ones as my can be somewhat rough on these (I've dropped my hat with these attached many times). Pretty impressed with this product and have recommended to several coworkers.

Amazing quality, should have bought 2 when I did. Holds charge longer at a lower volume. Great for working at the shop, very discreet if trying to be incognito with these. Connects to android and apple with ease.

Love that they work well at my job. Only thing I don’t like about them is they catch on things. So have to tuck under shirt.

Surprisingly good sound quality.

I wanted to use them on my riding lawnmower, listening to podcast. They do cut out a lot of background noise but not enough to block the riding mower. They would be great for flights, or as a passenger in a car. Happy to have them and will use them on other projects.

Honestly I like it, it's strictly focus for work, volume is limited for a reason. If I want it louder, I have other ones I would use. It blocks noise like 80% which is good for me at work. These ones sounded like a record player, which is more clearer than digital player. It's more defined, enough Highs, mids are pretty clear, bass is enough for work. No trouble on pairing, battery is pretty good so far, I did 2x10 hours shift before I get the low battery warning. Ive shortened or coiled the cord to my needs by tapping the excess wires. It doesn't get in my way. Will update when battery performance decreased. At first youll feel pressure in the external auditory canal, but ill forget its in there when busy with work, It does get slippery inside the ears after a while but it doesn't fall out, I had to take it out slowly or it will give that pop noise, which would be bad if it's daily, slowly works better. Still doing more research to understand it better for me. I just think of it as if it was a torque ranch with 200lbs strength, can't use it on a 10lbs nut, it would snap it. Strictly for work. I don't know why these sounded better than the Freereign ones, it more clear, but overall both is good for me at work. Since I have 2, battery isn't daily concern....yet. will update later.

Have to wear earplugs for work but cant have ear buds because they do not block the sounds earplugs do. But these bridge that gap! And even though they are osha approved, the color is perfect for safety to think they are regular earplugs so you dont have to worry about proving they approved or anything

I like the price compared to the pro version but the comfort isint as good as the high end version that I previously bought .. I own the 120 $ pair and these but the expensive versions more comfy in the ear but the lil battery thing on the side of the expensive ones is more noticable then the PC basic pro version and at work i dont like that, so I bought these because they dont have that and it is alot more discreet but the battery life is shorter (10 hrs ) and you cant replace the ear plug/buds so ya have to clean the yit outta them but also they feel weirder in my ears. I like these but I feel like they should add the feature where you can replace the ear bud part or I'd give a 5 star for the discreet aspect of these... my boss had no idea they weren't ear buds

One complaint is the same one I have with all these motorcycle related speakers and phones, ilthey are so high pitched. This one was pretty good, though. I thought it sounded pretty average everywhere, as opposed to mostly high pitch. The plugs themselves are bigger than I would prefer, and can bother me after a while, especially in my shoei rf 1200. All in all, I'd say excellent for the price point!

Despite catching the wires on obstructions, and lots of use, these still work very well. My original pair was 2 years old, with a lot of use, and still work just fine. I bought a back up pair, just because they are reasonably priced and I use them so much.

FINALLY- Simple, foam, noise-blocking earbuds! Fits nicely in my narrow ears, the sound is clear. These are just your basic listening earbuds - perfect for listening to music while moving - the foam really blocks outside sounds and keeps the buds in place. I had an expensive set of foam noise blocking ear buds...wore those out after 5 great years and tried to find new ones...manufacturer stopped making the kind I like. 🙂 I have been searching for over two years, my desk is littered with 'not right' options I have been purchasing with high-hopes. Now I have these, and they are perfect!

I bought these in May 2016. I've used them under a motorcycle helmet and they worked well, though they got pulled out of my ears when taking off the helmet. I wear them while mowing or edging the lawn, though again, sometimes they get caught and ripped out of my ears. I keep them wrapped up in my purse with no bag and pretty often the buds come off the wire. I've also used them underneath ear-muffs while wood working. I've found that "bed phones" work far better for this because they're flat and bluetooth. Now, one of the ears has stopped transmitting sound unless I hold the wire in a very specific way. I was just going to switch to regular headphones because I use bedphones for most everything now (and they're bluetooth). But when I remembered that I use them for lawn work, there's not really another option. I'll search for a bluetooth version of these in the spring.

Got these for work, music sounds like trash thru these but audiobooks and podcasts sound great. That's what I wanted them for anyway. They last about 10 hours before they need to be charged. I work in a very loud environment and these do actually reduce the noise very well. I recommend these but just realize if music is your reason they will severely disappoint you, but voice like audible and podcasts sound great.

I bought a pair of these back in 2016 or 2017 and loved them. I drive a forklift in a factory and the little paper that comes with them rate them for 26 Decibels. OSHA fined my company for a noise violation in 2018 and we were required to build sound proof (resistant) walls around certain machinary to knock the noise pollution down and we were required to were earbuds AND ear muffs as well until the walls were produced. I only ever wore these headphones and I couldn't ear much of anything. They for sure work well. The audio quality that comes through is clear and great quality. As far as the durability goes, I get them caught on the forklift straps and controls fairly often and get them ripped out of my ears and I just ordered a second pair of these a few days ago. They last for ever. Mine finally gave out after a little over 3 years right around where you plug it into the phone jack. More than likely where I sit on that portion of the wire and rub it constantly where im getting on and off the truck during 12 hour shifts. I 100% recommend these for anyone who wants a set of noise cancelling headphones. No need to buy $300 head phones to cancel out noise when these work amazing.

I bought these to use with my Sena system inside my motorcycle helmet and they work really well at blocking out wind and engine noise. As a plus, I can talk to other riders and listen to music without other noise drowning out conversations/music. I recommend these for noise protection.

I can hear people talking and shoot guns without damaging my hearing tooth works well

The dislike is the cord didn't last long

My dad and I each buy a pair of these about every 8 months or so. They tend to either start distorting the sound or stop working in one ear after a while. They still work great and are comfortable, which is why we continue to buy. The noise cancelling works so well that one of my friends at college made it a point to sneak up on me in as many creative ways as possible while I was listening to music.

I use the plugphones for my Raceceiver at the dirt track. These are very comfortable in my ear and provide me enough hearing protection to hear our race information, and the cars around me which is important. I broke my first pair getting out of the car at my own fault, not the product. I believe the audio could be better but I'm still a repeat customer.

My husband told me he wanted me to get these so he could use them at work and not have to use earplugs at work and be able to listen to music. And he says they work great he says that it looks like he has regular ear plugs but in reality he's actually listening to music haha. He is trying to convince me to get him a second pair so he has a spare for if he breaks this one.

I always preferred Plugfones to other brands. However, I tried a competitor's completely wire free earbuds and didn't like them at all. Plugfones seem to have the best fit. And I think the sound quality is really good for the price.

Best Buy for the money hands down. Use these for mowing on the tractor. I’ve tried head phones but with sun glasses and a hat it just don’t work, not to mention my ears melt from the heat and sweat. They work just as good as a set of 400.00 head phones without the side effects. If a tree branch rips them off and you ruin them - no biggie! For 20 bucks get another pair! You’ll cry for a week doin that to a set of Bose!

For work

I got this so I can listen to music when I ride, At 80 MPH it cut's out a lot of wind noise and I can hear the music with out turning it up. It's a very basic system but it works well.

Ordered these for my husband and he likes them. He says they are extremely noise canceling and he only hears what’s coming through the headphones.

Work

I wear these in the shop and in bed to listen to podcasts. They are great. I use the silicone covers so I don't have to roll the foam ones every time. The foam ones were uncomfortable too, but I have little ears. I like that the buttons are way down by the plug so they can hang just out of your pocket, and out of the way. The sound quality is good. I haven't used these to make a call, so I can't speak for the quality of the mic.

I border on being an "audiophile" so you would never catch me with a $20 pair of ear buds in my ears under normal conditions. Not all conditions are normal, though. I spend a lot of time in places where hearing protection is required and ear buds are frowned upon. Enter Plugfones. The sound quality of this corded product is garbage compared to my usual wireless ear buds. It's a day and night difference, like listening to AM radio versus FM. Some music is so devoid of feeling that I avoid it completely when using these. That's alright with me, though. I'll still rate it five stars because: 1) Having low cost, low quality sound is better than having no sound and 2) This product pulls off the appearance of standard hearing protection PERFECTLY. No one has questioned what I'm wearing. Not even the safety guy at one location who is notorious for stopping and lecturing people over the smallest perceived policy violation. If this product didn't pull off the appearance so well, then I'd have rated them a 1 star on sound quality. Even with the best sound quality in the world, though, they would have been utterly worthless to me if they couldn't pull off the appearance which is required. So, I've swallowed my audiophile pride and rated them solid 5 stars across the board. I'm thankful that this product exists and doesn't draw any unwanted attention. That warrants the high marks.

I love them lasted me about two years but I work in a pretty rough job and they finally gave out

Bought these to wear under my bike helmet and they do a fair job of noise cancellation and the sound is average but they are primarily for noise reduction and for music as a secondary consideration and in this context they do an admirable job. Recommended.

Bought these headphone because I work construction. The noise at work causes headaches and non stop ringing. Heard about them on Facebook and thought I’d try them out. Wow was I blown away. Great sound and comfortable.

I wear them in a factory and they cancel the noise really well. I can take a call and be able to hear what someone is saying on the phone.

Los compre para usar con ruido marron para poder dormir, tengo unos vecinos insoportables que ponen música a todo volumen esto me esta ayudando mucho

Worked great right out of the box as they were already charged recharge them for work later that night, they worked great was able to get almost 8 hours of listening to music out of them before the battery died box says up to 10hrs so will see but overall so far great product I do know others with the same product that have an experienced any issues

At first ears the sound quality isn't what I'm used to. It's pretty flat and clear with no bass but you can't tell them apart from ear plugs so thats a plus at work. They stay in your ear very very well. I've never had a headphone stay in my ear like this. I started using them while riding my motorcycle and I can actually hear the music over my loud exhaust. And I don't have to keep repositioning them in my ear at highway speeds.

The sound quality isn’t very good for the money but they are what I was looking for. I used them last night at work for around 6 hours and there is still over half battery life left and nobody even noticed I was listening to music.

Very good

Good quality, great sound, a little big for my ears but you can change the foam tips so I will be doing that with smaller ones. Overall great purchase. Battery life is enough for a regular 8hr shift.

Sound is good, they don't cancel out the sound as good as a normal ear plug, but they will help cut down on shop noise. My personal experience is to buy a Bluetooth receiver on Amazon for $10 and plug the ear buds into it. They are stealthy and do not have all the extra addons so they look like legit chorded ear plugs.

As a earbud they are cheap and obviously sound quality was not their main focus. But they are convincing for earplugs and feel much better than the typical earplugs they mimic, they “feel” like they give the same amount of noise isolation. They are great for what they are trying to be but man do i wish they had a little more on the lowend.

Great product! Fast delivery

The battery life is good and the cable is long enough to put under the safety helmet. Performance may be differ from which khind of music you listen. For me I love rock and this thing did a pretty amazing job. Only downside is when not listening to music you mught hear some outside noise than normal safety earplug.

I own several now and love them. Comfortable to wear all day and cancel noise well

These have worked great for a month now, sound quality seems just as good as other standard ear buds. Actually I'd say they're easier to hear(especially in loud environments) because they fit snug in your ear. I work in a plant where earplugs are mandatory and personal listening devices are forbidden, with the cord running down the back of my shirt into my Galaxy S5 in my front pocket no ones the wiser. I wear these working around 15+ automatic table saws and don't even have to turn my phones volume up all the way to listen to siriusxm talk radio(hey now ;)). Regular ear buds would need to be cranked. They seem durable enough so far but I'm here to buy a back up pair just in case. Highly recommended!

Product looks exactly like the photo. I would give it 5 stars, if not for the battery life. The battery only lasts about 8 hours. I work a 12 hour shift and can't charge them. So they don't fully fulfill their purpose since I can use them for part of my shift.

These are surprisingly great headphones. I bought these to replace my motorcycle helmet speakers and wear while riding my motorcycle. I ride a GSXR 750 with an aftermarket full exhaust system and with these headphones I can barely hear it. The sound quality is also pretty amazing. They pack a nice amount of bass and you can actually hear the music. Oh, I also have a modular helmet that has a lot of wind noise while riding and these eliminate all that noise. I will probably never buy another set of helmet speakers after riding with these.

Sound quality is a little poor but they do their job. They work well as ear plugs and look just like our company supplied ear plugs to be sneaky

I've been using these for 3 months now, and to be honest the Plugfones brand is better than I thought it would be. The evil corporate overlords decided that we can no longer have radios or ear buds, but I like listening to podcasts during the day. They look exactly like normal earplugs. The bass isn't as deep as other earbuds, but it's not bad and overall I think the sound quality is very good. You would need bigger magnets for deeper bass which in turn would defeat the purpose of these. I work in a very loud metal fabrication plant, and these earbuds provide proper hearing protection. Depending how much I use them, the battery will make it on a 8 hour shift. I top them up on my charger during lunch break anyway. I've pulled them out of my ears during conversation with my supervisor, he doesn't know the difference. The battery and volume control are noticable if visible, but if they're under your collar or shirt you'll be fine. The rubber ear inserts aren't replaceable, I use alcohol wipes to clean them. At first I thought the price was too high, but for the enjoyment I get while being at work, it's worth it to me. To appear as being hearing protection, the wires are small, so be careful with them. Other than that, I'm very happy so far. Update, 8/3/21 ... I'm on my 2nd pair due to warranty replacement. The left channel went bad and I could barely hear anything in the right. The seller made it right, I'm a little over a month and a half in with the new pair. So far so good.

Great ear plugs/buds. Not extremely loud but has awesome sound quality and bass. These don't need to be loud though due to noise cancelation. Without music playing, it'll be like having standard ear plugs in, with music, you won't hear any outside noise coming through. Very comfortable and very long cord .

I originally purchased the wired version of plugfones and was disappointed when they only lasted a month. So obviously I was hesitant to spend the money to try the Bluetooth version but I’m glad I did. I’ve been using them all day, 5-6 days a week for over a year now. Haven’t had any problems with them. Only complaint is the battery doesn’t last as long as they claim, I typically get around 9 hours of use before they die.

Work great, would buy again Good sound and block out more outside noise than my protective ear muffs. Core is a bit cumbersome, but just dropping it inside my shirt work.

No hay necesidad de hacer mala promoción dice que puede durar hasta 10 horas de batería y se me descargó en 7 horas mi primer día de uso ni siquiera mis 8 horas de trabajo

I work in a plastic factory during 12 hour shifts or not allowed to listen to to music. I used to get by by day dreaming all night but I can't do that all the time. So listening to music Podcast or audio books helps pass the time.

I work long work shifts, standing, listening to the constant, repetitive THUMP THUMP HISSSSSS THUMP of the machine…. Not sure why jobs have a vendetta against just having ANY kind of music playing on a radio (one job I had did this, production was great- when they took them out because some nut changed the station), it’s been downhill since. Now these earbuds aren’t bass heavy (very tinny) but heck it’s WAY BETTER than hearing the machine or yapping coworkers talk about how many kids they have or their questionable rap career. They look just like the job issued freebies. If there was to be an improvement to the design, I would say where the two buds connect, they could’ve made a faux clip, making it look like you have these clipped to your shirt. As is they just “disappear” into my shirt. Also you can still hear alarms, and such as you would with regular ear protection earbuds. And these do protect your ears from loud sounds irregardless.

My house sits on 4 acres and that's quite a bit of mowing. I use my Plugfones under ear muff style hearing protection to enjoy music and cancel out the noise of my mowerT his was my second set of Plugphnes. My orinal set were about 3 years old and had become damaged due to negligence on my part. This Plugfone provide comfort, easily worn under rmuffs and will remain in place once inserted properly. Perfect for my needs.

Been using PlugFones for years now...this is my third pair of the Liberate 2.0's. I wear them all day, every day, so after a couple years or so one of the earbuds will stop working or something, so time for a new pair. Sound quality is good, especially if you're mostly just listening to podcasts or audiobooks. Don't expect these to blow you away listening to music as they're definitely a bit thin-sounding, but still perfectly usable if you just want some jams while you're working or on a plane or whatever. I used to prefer the silicone tips on older models, but they seem to have improved the shape/design of the foam tips and now I prefer the foams for fit/comfort. Have been and will continue to be a user of PlugFones.

these are wonderful how they are two in one so I can work to protect my ears and listen to music or podcasts while I work. they are very durable and you change the tips out too. I love these.
